At this time, I saw that the white pig couldn't run. Wang Jin went to appease Xiaobai. Then, I went to the kitchen to make dog food for Xiaobai and fed Xiaobai. When I came back to look at this guy, I saw that the big toad had come out of the gap in the iron grate and was lying motionless on the ground not far away. The gap in the grate was narrow, and the grate was full of milky white mucus, so you can imagine how the toad escaped the clutches of the white pig with great difficulty.

Wang Jin suddenly felt pity, thinking that the six brothers of this toad had been killed by himself, and now they were ravaged by this white pig in every way, and decided to let it live. So he still took the frame and buckled it up temporarily. Thinking about this white pig, it couldn't be put here, so it took a long time to get the box to the edge of the chicken nest in the back yard. Settled down for the time being. I was afraid that the white pig was short of water, so I found a broken bowl and took some well water and put it in the box.

The white pig was not polite, sticking out his tongue to lick and drink, but it was the same as a cat drinking water. Wang Jin teased it and threw in a radish eaten by the rabbit, but the white pig didn't smell it. I tried a few vegetables in a row, and it ignored it. It looks like this guy is a carnivore. I was about to continue to observe, when I heard the sound of someone opening the courtyard door in the front yard, and knew that it was Wang coming back.

It was indeed the Wang family who came into the courtyard, and he was followed by his uncle. When Wang saw Wang Jin, he asked, "Did you catch any snake?" Take it farther, I don't want to see it. At this time, Wang Jin had already put the woven bag in the corner of the wall, but he wondered how his mother knew. Uncle opened his mouth and realized that when he returned to the village in the morning, he was carrying a dead snake behind him, and he had already been seen. This is spread by ten, ten, hundred, and I am afraid that the whole village will know about it at this time.

Some people said that they saw Wang Jin catch the snake with their own eyes in the morning, and the snake bit Wang Jin's wrist, Wang Jin trembled at that time, and his face immediately turned iron blue. So they used the secret recipe of their Wang family, first took drugs with their mouths, and then took some red pills, and suddenly they were fine. The snake was five or six meters long, a hybrid of a python and a cobra king snake, which I had never seen before, and so on. At this time, Uncle happened to pass by, thinking about it a little weird, and he came over to take a look if he was not psychologically steady.

Wang went to cook by himself, and Wang Jin and his uncle sat down in the hall. As soon as he saw his uncle's gloomy face, Wang Jin knew that nothing good was wrong. Sure enough, the uncle asked Wang Jin: What snake did you catch, take it and take a look. Wang Jin opened the woven bag where the dead snake was placed and showed it to his uncle. Uncle glanced at it, didn't speak, his face was gloomy, he didn't know what he was thinking, this kind of demeanor Wang Jin had never seen. Wang Jin waited for a long time, but saw that his uncle didn't move, so he only cared about smoking by himself. I didn't have anything to say, but talked about his tone: I didn't encounter any danger, I met this snake, it was a pure accident.

When the uncle saw Wang Jin say this, he asked him: What is the name of this snake, you can come and hear it. Wang Jin is very sure about this. Immediately replied: Let's call it the Hundred Flower Snake. Outsiders call it a five-step snake and a hundred-step snake. Uncle got angry and said, "Have you ever seen this big five-step snake?" Wang Jin shook his head when he thought about it, admitting that he had never seen it.

Uncle has never spoken to Wang Jin like this, since he was a child, this uncle has always been happy to himself, but at this time he has a straight face, and his demeanor is very serious: I have learned the craft of dealing with snakes with your grandfather all my life, and I have encountered such a mountain worm (bie) 1 or 2 times. Wang Jin is strange, this: Isn't it Wang Ba? Uncle replied to him: the thousand-year-old king, the thousand-year-old tortoise. I ask you if the serpent's head is pointy. A bit like the head of a soft-shelled turtle?

Wang Jin thought about it, so he nodded. Uncle continued: The scientific name of this snake is the sharp-nosed pither. Don't think pit vipers are all of the same kind. There are many types of snakes all over the country. It is also a five-step snake, and it is also a mountain. In Sichuan, there are many poisonous snakes and beasts that people outside don't know, and you can't think about it in your life. Just your two skills, if you don't die when you meet this guy, it's your fate. This snake your grandfather called it "the valley worm" in their lifetime. Arrested, the treatment of hemiplegia and gout has a miraculous effect. It's just that this snake's venom seals its throat when it sees blood, and its bite is as fast as lightning, and its strength is great, and it is very dangerous to catch it with bare hands. If you are bitten by it, within half a day, the person's blood will clot and dry.

Wang Jin stuck out his tongue when he heard this: this snake is really a bit big, and the pattern is different from the commonly seen flower snakes. I think they should all live in the mountains and old forests. In the Nanshan Valley, when I encountered this snake, I felt that it should not be powerful.

When the uncle heard him say this, he hurriedly asked: What? Did you see it on the South Mountain? Wang Jin was really scared at this time, if he wanted to talk about the ability to catch snakes, his uncle was many times stronger than himself and his father. Seeing that he was so nervous at this time, I knew that he was not joking: yes. So, I briefly talked about how I saw the snake last night and how I caught it, but I didn't say anything about the white pig.

Uncle pondered for a while, and said: "I really can't understand how this snake moves on Nanshan, I have lived in this village for more than 50 years, and I have never encountered it on Nanshan. If you hurt someone, it's really a nuisance. I have to talk to the old branch secretary.

Wang Jin also felt that the situation was serious: I don't know if there is such a snake there. In order to let Wang Jin really have a long memory, after all, his family can look at the offspring who can do something, so he told him, but there are important things to ask him at the same time: This kind of snake likes to live in groups in winter. If it is really on the South Mountain, then it is definitely not a one, and this matter must be known to the people in the village immediately. By the way, is it true that your mother said that you took over the art of your ancestors?

Wang Jin said: Yes. The uncle's face was bitter, and he thought that what his sister-in-law said to him was true, but there were many things in his Wang family, and the women didn't know about it, so he asked Wang Jin: You baby, you are better than your uncle in this point. Have you made the snake medicine that our family has handed down? Wang Jin: I'm going to do it. I haven't come to get in a hurry yet. Uncle scolded: If you don't have snake medicine, you dare to fish for snakes, don't die.

Wang Jin was not convinced, and brought the snake pliers to his uncle. Uncle didn't look at it, so he shook his head: You have only seen a few powerful things, and this thing sometimes doesn't work. Our Wang family's ability, you just know a little. There are still a lot of things you don't know, our Wang family has given away a hundred and ten lives on this snake. Your grandfather...... Suddenly, I won't talk about it. No matter how much Wang Jin asked, Uncle just didn't follow.

After eating, my uncle asked Wang Jin: What snake medicine are you going to make, and Wang Jin said what he wanted to do. In order to show that he has fully mastered such a skill, he will see that no one in the yard will say: I eavesdropped on your chats when I was a child, and I will memorize the prescriptions.

Uncle asked him what the prescription was, although he didn't take the post passed down by his father, but it is estimated that it should have a lot to do with the prescription, so he asked Wang Jin: What is the prescription formula?

Wang Jinman confidently recited:

The side branch lotus is half made into one, the silver peanut field needs to be found, three white and one red and heavy building, and the rhubarb bottom in front of the Xuanming car.

Wang Jinman thought that his uncle could praise himself a few words after listening to it. But I heard my uncle say: The medicine you made, if you touch this snake, you will point to the dead snake corpse on the ground and gently let him bite half of it. If you take out the medicine and don't put it in your mouth, people will already make it numb, you know?

Only then did Wang Jin know that this snake was powerful, so he still listened to his uncle's lesson honestly: since you have inherited the craftsmanship of your ancestors, remember to pretend not to know in front of outsiders. There's a lot you don't know about here. In our village, there are 5 old people who know the origin of our Wang family, and the old people who can catch snakes in some skill. said that he looked at Wang Jin, and continued: You are half of it. Wang Jin didn't want to listen to others tout, but he heard his uncle say that he could also be counted as half, which was already extremely useful.

Uncle hesitated for a long time and was a little embarrassed. I don't know what my father Wang Yun left for this kid, and this kid is obviously more attentive when he comes back this time. People are grown up, but a lot of family things should not be told to this kid, I have to find someone to discuss, now I have to see how much this kid knows, so he said: The things of the ancestors will be told to you slowly in the future, I will go back to discuss with a few old brothers, after a while, a few of us will go to the mountains for a walk. As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the west. The places you have been to are only a few hills within a radius of 100 miles. Think about the place where your grandfather took us back then, is that called a mountain? For more than ten days, a place where no one can see, and there is no road. When you go to that place, you know how big the world is, and when you look at the creatures in that place, you know how amazing God's ability to create things is.

Wang Jin has always hidden a question in his psychology, that is, what is the snake that bit his father to death, and he wants to blurt it out at this time. But was stopped by my uncle: You go to me tomorrow, and I still have two pills, the medicine left by your grandfather back then. This thing won't break in a hundred years. Besides, I'll pass you a recipe. If you make this medicine, you can save your life when you encounter turtles, turtle grass, bee wings, and scale pythons. These snakes, where are the common people waiting to see. Wang Jin agreed one by one, and said that he had never heard of these snake names.

Finally, Wang Jin asked his uncle: What should I do with this snake, is the snake gall bladder useful? Uncle was strange and asked him: Now the natural environment has changed. In the past, there were no pesticides in the water or in the fields. Fish, shrimp, sandworms, and earthworms can all be eaten casually. Now people only care about making money, and dare to go into the ground for anything. The things that the snakes eat are becoming less and less clean. Wine soaked snake gallbladder, that is to exert the effect of medicine. It does not play a sterilizing role. The original snake is clean, and the gallbladder is clean, and it is okay to only deliver the raw and eat it. Now snakes, if you don't want to eat the parasites in your head, either don't eat them raw, or buy Western medicine processed them. It's none of our business for others to do this. Just don't be stupid.

Wang Jin was still unwilling and asked: How do you know if this snake gall has parasites? Uncle told him: You have to look at the head, look at the eyes. Now that the head of the snake is gone. I don't know if there are any parasites. Just don't you have to eat its snake gall bladder? As the old saying goes: Life is in danger of greed, have you forgotten? Wang Jinxin said: Gluttony can also be regarded as greed? Uncle continued: "I mean, let's burn it. Snake ash you stay, that one is very useful. He walked away without looking back.

The next day, Wang Jin went to his uncle's house to get the medicine, which were really two red pills. Uncle was in a place where no one was, almost with his ears close to his ears, and passed on a prescription for snake medicine to Wang Jin. Wang Jin, but when he heard the medicine in this recipe, he stuck out his tongue when he even used centipedes and spiders. I also heard of musk, which was a more precious spice, and I had never even seen it.

Seeing the spring flowers blooming, after a few rains, the whole land is dressed in tender green spring makeup. Wang Jin was dragged by his uncle and the people in charge of the village to the place where the turtle was caught, and went there several times. Never saw them again. In the village, where the snake was found, a striking wooden sign was placed to remind the villagers that a highly venomous snake had been found here.

The habits of the white pig, Wang Jin slowly figured it out, in addition to liking poisonous things, honey, banana sweet things, it also likes it. Then there are green onions, onions and even peppers, as long as it is stimulating, it will not refuse. If there is nothing, it is okay to sprinkle pepper noodles with cabbage. This guy eats everything and is not afraid of anything. is familiar with Wang Jin, and sometimes, Wang Jin puts it in the yard This guy doesn't run away, there is food and drink here, and he doesn't act quickly, and he is surprisingly lazy. It's just that this guy's claws are sharp, Wang Jin feels that this guy is a beast after all, and he has eaten so many poisonous insects, so he never planned to hold it. This guy sometimes sleeps on Wang Jin's shoes, and sometimes he takes Wang Jin's shoes back to the box at night, and he is not afraid of the smell of Wang Jin's sweaty feet. But you don't want to train him like a dog, and the roots of the world won't listen to you. Unless you have bugs and poisons that you are interested in. Otherwise, ignore you.

In the past few days, my uncle helped Wang Jin gather the materials for snake medicine and helped Wang Jin make a batch of snake medicine. In fact, it is only a small bag of powder that is less than one or two. Dozens of processes, very complicated. Uncle said that there is no problem with ordinary snake venom. Let him be more careful, but snakes are still afraid of people after all, if you don't take the initiative to provoke them, how can they bite people without anything. Go to some places where people are active, and there are also some non-poisonous snakes, but I don't know what Wang Jin wants to do to catch snakes, how do he know that Wang Jin sells them as pets to people in the city as pets to make money.

Last time, Wang Jin burned the ashes and put it away, so he didn't plan to show them to the two dogs. Nor did they tell them about the white pigs. For fear of scaring out the bitterness of this group of people, I still need everyone to do my own things.

On this day, Ergouzi, Cao Bald and his party gathered at Wang Jin's house early in the morning, and everyone was ready to start the first battle of catching snakes collectively.
